SHINE Ibiza [03.09.2018]

A new light shines on the Mediterranean’s clubbing horizon. Trance has found a new sanctuary for its family. Paul van Dyk, Aly & Fila and more than 20 DJs celebrate SHINE Ibiza, an 11-week run, Mondays July 9 to September 17, at Privilege’s Vista Club.

SHINE Ibiza will be the centre stage for the truest form of Trance on the White Isle. Of the move, legendary DJ and long-time Ibiza club-resident Paul van Dyk says: “what SHINE offers, is a world of opportunities - a hub to an international community and a place where we belong no matter where we’re from. The trance family is a global collective of positive, caring and fun-loving people. Myself, my fellow DJs, the event organizers and club staff will go the extra mile to provide the best possible experience for them. I look forward, with the greatest anticipation to seeing you at SHINE!”

The Club Vista-based nights will take place each Monday from the 9th of July to September 17th. Completing its line-ups throughout the season, Paul will be joined by DJs including Aly & Fila, Bryan Kearney, Simon Patterson, Cosmic Gate, Neelix, Grum, Ben Nicky and others. First and foremost, SHINE is aimed at trance-conscious music lovers seeking mind-blowingly produced nights, packed with magic, energy and light, but overall that essential familiar spirit.

Nick Ferguson, MD of Supernova Group and former Cream Ibiza promoter explains: “Trance has deep roots on the island of Ibiza. It’s been the spiritual home to its positive, uplifting sounds since the 90s. SHINE Ibiza wants to bring this spirit back, the human factor. Everybody is part of SHINE – DJs, guests and staff alike. We all come together to have a great time, meet old friends, make new friends, enjoy our favourite music in long DJ sets with amazing production and a breath-taking view of Ibiza’s sunrise”. SHINE residents Aly & Fila added “We are very much looking forward to being part of SHINE Ibiza this summer. It is great to see this dedicated Trance event on the White Isle. See you several times over the summer!”

Vista is the club within a club - the world’s biggest club to be exact. Over the last five + years it has earned its name and reputation though its atmosphere and singular location. Beamed down UFO-like onto Privilege’s voluminous terrace, by night its glass pyramid structure is an awe-inducing place to dance. As dawn breaks, Club Vista irradiates to reveal a once-seen, never-forgotten panorama. With an outlook across La Isla Blanca, it stretches right the way to Dalt Vila. Sunrise sets at Vista are an experience that’s left trip-defining impressions on tens of thousands. Through the amplitude of its glass grandstand, its night-to-day transitions are evermore a 21st century clubbing rite of passage. Uniting the music with the scenic into one multisensory experiencing, it’s this perfect backdrop that SHINE has chosen for their Ibizan adventures.
